#1 It is not loosing strength, it is pausing for breath.

#2 All the low-hanging fruit has been picked? Ah, no - they're still looting, I see.

I find the Car-BQ index being used to gauge the "strength" to be surreal. Somehow I don't think that's a solid indicator / predictor of "strength". Perhaps, Mr Reporter, it's far more likely that most of the god-damned cars in the neighborhoods surrounding the asshats' turf have already been torched to cinders. Think that might be a more plausible explanation for the drop in cars burned?

Where do reporters go to learn reason and logic?

#3 Low hanging fruit being available cars to 'que is shrinking, and the torchers are more and more in the can. But if they turn any yoots loose before the fire is stone cold, it's likely to flare up again.

#4 There was some sort of a curfew enforced. This may have had an effect on the free-wheeling Car-B-Q (I like that phrase). I agree with mmurray, its just catching its breath (reloading).

#5 In some towns, concerned residents have banded together to keep overnight watch on public buildings and to patrol their neighborhoods, armed only with fire extinguishers.
Hummmm..... maybe Marianne startin to stir.

#6 Nice to see that fewer cars are brewing up. Those people who still have cars left must have wised up, parked them downtown, and used transit to get home.

#8 Weather effects kicked in - it rained.
Autumn in France is usually wet I understand.
